Hopefully it'll be something simple like a leaking reservoir or a valve block that is leaking and causing the system to try to stay level and thus exhausting the reservoir. Both would be relatively cheap (in the scheme of RRS repairs). A new strut or compressor would be a more expensive fix, sadly.

Thanks guys ill keep you's posted. Ive had a quick look around at new compressors and seen some videos on youtube on how to replace seems straight forward. Cost of pump is £600 which i can live with. Has anyone replaced their compressor before and able to offer any advise?

£400 on ebay just need to look into 'the job' now. I hope this sorts it out. Do I need to replace the piping etc aswell? the kit on ebay has a relay and pipe work. Also would I need a software update? |

Careful - the cheaper ones are often/usually the older model compressor. You need to compare like for like when comparing prices. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

The kit with the pipe work and relay, is almost certainly going to np be the newer AMK compressor that's the one you want.

Interesting update. If I was you, I'd get them to log all the fault codes the diagnostics machine brings up then clear them all. Drive it round for a week and see what faults come back as a lot of them maybe in there from previous years ownership with the car. I'm not Fat. RRS TDV6 HST. |

As above - clear the faults then start again - these beasts are very temperamental 16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............

The faults where cleared at MT Autos and the suspension released its self somehow and now works? But I have the engine management light on along with the air bag light and a parking brake warning message. I have to take it to another garage on friday with the proper system for them to rest all the parameters and stuff for them to diagnose it properly. Whats the score with a software update reset or an ecu flash? as I think that's what MT Autos did to get the suspension working again, Compressor seems to be fine and works as it should? |

Cant help you on the ECU Flash. Never had one done or never needed to. A full reset of codes sorts it for me at my local indie. I'm not Fat. RRS TDV6 HST. |
